peter five tear gas that really clouds i'm worried islamic president mohamed morsi has planted himself sweeping new powers. its role on hamas observe a shaky cease fire despite trading accusations of violations of the family rights and the dead they don't want to. be used trillian viewer budget is still up in the air as a leaders fail to agree on how much they want to base. near so russia and iran the world this is all see was me you know hello and welcome to the program egypt's security forces have fired chagga such angry protests as running against islamic president mohamed morsi

a new decree granting him sweeping powers has spog demos across the country the opposition has started a sit in protests and the hive square pledging to find what it calls a morse's power grab cairo based on is true has the details. what i've really seen is quite harsh tactics used by the police to stop protests in tahrir square you see a lot of tear gas on protesters throwing rocks down on protesters from the top of buildings we've also seen molotov being thrown back and forth at the same time we've had demonstrations at the presidential palace in support of the president and also across the country we've seen president the president protesters clashing in from brother headquarters so there's been quite a lot happening is actually in a strange way united the opposition forces have been quite divided recently there was mass uproar when the president announced his constitutional declaration which

essentially awarded him powers over the judiciary it also said that his decree and his that gratian is would be an appealable and this is something that's led commentators to call him the new pharaoh and to call the document in essence a coup so what we're seeing here is massive criticism of the president and actually quite a lot of fear that he's really becoming a new tactic a dictator because he actually has right now more power is the most ever did the president does have a very large support base here was the hails from the muslim brotherhood which is a very organized organization and very able to get the protesters the members to the streets which is why we saw thousands in front of the presidential office in support of the president so really whether the oppositional forces can convince the people that that the president morsi is doing is wrong is to be seen. present defined as the new decree granting him substantial powers and he told his supporters he was leading egypt on

a path to freedom and democracy but journalist ahmed fast here believes military rule in egypt has simply been replaced by another kind of dictatorship. what have mohammad morsi done mubarak in the height of his power could not even dream of achieving morsi is part of the muslim brotherhood and islam or fascist group they have control over their members and their supporters it is very simple in a country with more than forty five percent of its population are illiterate to control them in the name of religion gyptian is are now seeing clearly they have replaced the military fascist style regime of hosni mubarak into the religious fascist regime of mohamed morsi and the muslim brotherhood egyptians have undertaken a revolution back in january twentieth levon calling for three simple things bread freedom and social justice neither of these three. calls demands that

they have called for and in their revolution have been achieved the state of the egyptian of qana me is in shambles this state of freedoms it's been marginalized people wanted to establish a democracy they wanted to establish solid to human rights they wanted to have social justice applied and not to turn it from the military to the religious fascism. some strong words that was there from journalist ahmed five hey who was talking to us from new york. ceasefire between hamas and israel remains intact and has now entered its third day that's despite accusations from both sides that they were violations of the truce with several riots in shootings near the border one palestinian was killed and nineteen teenagers injured when israeli soldiers opened fire at. the border it's very different forces said

around three hundred people from approach to security of different points on friday and warned and a warning shots have to be fined filmmaker and activists harry fear is a witness that fence around continues working babies that palestinians who. thought they know there's a peace deal. under the ceasefire most gazans see that the no go military buffer zone which israel had put imposed on palestinian terror john the palestinian side of the border had been raised and that the farmers in the area who had been taken away they would not be able to farm that groups of palestinians went to what they thought was now again that palestinian territory one palestinian has been killed in that incident in the cease fire as a particular lie referring to this that over these coming hours and days there will be more detail different to this notion of the lifting of this siege blockade on the gaza strip but i think people here in gaza according to my own reading

a very very skeptical about that actually being realized one hundred percent extent that the blockade would totally be lifted and there have been two milestone easing of the blockade since it was first imposed but they have been tiny in relative terms i don't think people are expecting this cease fire to manifest in a proper proper and real lifting of the blockade of the gaza strip we've had so many injured over a thousand we've had over one hundred sixty palestinians killed and remember the. more is still being killed because they're dying all of the injuries that they. inflicted on them during the seventy eight day war so the body count is still rising and the ministry of health here in gaza and the world health organization still have not given us the latest figures of how many palestinians were killed and so the scars are very much on the ground there on the mind and there on the bodies of some palestinians so polls show about half of all israelis think that government should have pushed forward with their code of one hundred sixty palestinians while

hamas rocket attacks killed six israelis and my colleague kevin owen earlier talk to alex a spokesman from the prime minister's office who now says israel's only goal is peace. definitely there are many people in israel that think the prime minister should. get more in or get more of this operation go in ground operation because these people don't believe but hamas will really stop firing rockets and fortunately unfortunately people in israel cannot believe that the international community can. pressure in for is this ceasefire and that's why people are so kind of frustrated the prime minister started that peroration but again the fact the prime minister's peroration proved that we don't want to invade we don't want we just want stability and peace that sounds great on paper but the underlying tensions haven't gone away of that we could talk about this for

a long time. and i'd like to ask you about that say while you're on the line and interested party course in all this looking on some officials there said that israel is showing weakness by letting a mass of the hook how concerned are you with reaction well first of all i don't think israel was weak israel was poor is needed to stop the rockets just let us live in peace we will not use force villages me because even though with the surgical attacks what we've heard the word described a lot over the last couple of days there were dozens of civilians in gaza killed including thirty seven children will anyone in your government or military be held accountable for those deaths to think differently and we really really sorry for these deaths and that's really what we want we want to target and hurt only those who fire rockets and. i mean netanya his office and coming out talks between easy leaders collapse in brussels cision switched on they truly are

pretty hard to put a positive spin on this nonetheless of course we're seeing the european leaders trying now i've got the statement in front of me at the moment from the european council and they're saying the talks are going to continue they're going to hope to have her out some kind of agreement by next year a lot of focus now is going to be or what exactly went wrong and of course what is going to happen next what we really saw happening over the past three days in the sort of crux of the failure was that you saw this widening divide between the big donor countries you have britain you had germany you have the netherlands you had denmark they were very much pushing for these big cuts in the e.u. budget is going to take us from twenty fourteen to twenty twenty and he saw on the other side of that divide countries like france and italy now alternately what went wrong is the deal that was put on the table by the president of the european council about. these countries including britain saying look that's simply not good

enough and so alternately as we said they were able to overcome that and say this whole given this the base going to drag on internet this is very much a story of divided europe there were a number of countries that stood alongside britain in calling for those cuts david cameron very much would have wanted to give the message to people watching back home you know look i'm on your side as he said i'll be fighting for the very best deal for the british taxpayer now what he said is look we didn't get a deal but we didn't get an unacceptable daylight the prime minister is going to be returning to britain facing a country that never at any point in its history has really felt like its membership in the european union itself is so under question really the talks of britain having an in or out referendum in the european union seeming more like a question of not if that will happen but when as we've been finding out. and while

europe struggles to find a common way forward some regions are looking for ways to go it alone in spanish catalonia people are set to go to the polls to elect a regional government which could see every foreign them on its independence is andrew far lassie. there's a wind of separatism blowing through europe at the moment and it's reached the north eastern shores of spain catalonia is the latest region to officially aspirate independence is something people here have long felt in their hearts but now they're feeling it in their pockets. i think it's a good idea to be in the band them for our. country. in a really really bad situation is a bargain for. the border for the good. of the cattle and flags can be seen hanging from balconies throughout barcelona reflecting a growing desire for home rule under a drive to break away from the central government in madrid this weekend's local

election is being fought on that issue alone cattle and president mass has made it the centerpiece of his campaign this convergence union party vying to hold an independent referendum if they win and say a free catalonia would be a cure all for the region's economic problems that have seen unemployment top twenty five percent the economic context in europe and in the south of europe has been a catalyzer of this. movement we can see in the sense that people believe that with our own resources human capital economic resources we could be better off if not being in the spanish estate and this is a reality that a lot of economic research has show many cattle and find it a persuasive argument it's one of spain's wealthiest regions producing a fifth of the country's economic output but it pays around sixteen billion euros

a year more in taxes than it gets back in madrid which has in turn insisted public services into austerity cuts. this is not fair i mean we are the ones who're. doing our best in a mechanical reasons we cannot have all the weight of this measure and the central government that for us is the one who is spending the most and not in the last september barcelona witnessed one of the largest separatist rallies here since the nineteen seventies over one and a half million catalans took to the streets to call for independence but the path to becoming a new european state is far from smooth the proposed referendum is against the spanish constitution what's more withdrawing from spain could also force this region to drop out of the european union those against separatism believe it could do more harm than good. separatism britain alone you know would be an economic disaster multi-national companies located in brazil for access to the spanish work

it being in the e.u. that would be lost which more even of separatism does not happen just talking about it creates uncertainty and that is the last thing the economy needs during this current crisis. with poll suggesting aftermaths will win reelection barcelona and madrid look set free huge showdown the president of the spanish military association colonel leopoldo sanchez has even suggested it might lead to another civil war political parties dismiss that as extreme rhetoric but remaining catalans you hope this weekend will mark the first step towards the breakup of spain. andrew farmer r.t. catalonia. threatens to spread throughout the gulf world and it's not political strife this time as a mysterious rescue a tree a virus claims of all as a terrifying thing a radio raising concern. or a portal that's all i'm. glad to hear is actually two thousand and six christians

dinners had barely been digested this week before most americans turned their attention from thanksgiving to buying black friday has become one of the country's biggest shopping days of the get off he's in new york president has been to see what people actually think of the retailing hysteria. the holidays had arrived in the united states but instead of talking about family and religion americans seem only to be talking about shopping why is that this week let's talk about that do you think that americans are aware of the irony of having a crazy frenzied shopping day the day after we give thanks for what we already have best day of the year which one thanksgiving or black friday the day after black friday exactly you love it yeah it's a great time of year to go shopping and trample people. the world's ending anyway twenty twelve calendar so we don't have to worry about fixing our consumerism we

don't have to worry about shopping nothing do you think it's an american thing or do you think it's a worldwide thing. i think americans are probably worse that it do you think americans are a little too obsessed with shopping for the holidays no i think it's great it's wonderful fun it's great to get out but it's spending money and stuff you don't necessarily me that's how the holidays are about what's makes economy go round is that the most important thing you know we're having from a scrape are people obsessed with shopping where you're from well yes because we know the whole reason why we come here so we can show so we are obsessed and we count wife it's mara what does it say about us as a society as humanity that we're so obsessed with consumerism. i think it's very pretty sad why do you think americans are so crazy about shopping during the holidays. i've no idea media you guys. tell everyone to buy spectacular and so they do i haven't seen one commercial for jesus i haven't seen

one commercial for volunteers i haven't seen one commercial about the spirit at all but i've seen plenty for shopping why is that. cereal the material aspect of society there they push it and we fall into that trap so as a. arafat's fault for falling into the trap it's a combined effort mind effort of non-u. men and humanistic though i consider these with an economy in the tank a climate in shifts and a world at war it might behoove us off to focus less on consuming and more on what's really important this holiday thing with them. and us of the break the kinds a report looks at all these kinds of behind the financial news headlines that stay with us but not.

kaiser welcome to the kaiser report jump down turn around pick a bale of cotton that's right you member that from the old days old plantation days well turn around and pay your rent to me i'm a bank and i own you yeah it's nice to be in banks or in these days of zero percent interest rates printed exclusively for the banks or. max you sound like somebody from k.k. are there one of the banks there is of the world london bankers become landlords as rents hit record so london rents max have risen more than six percent in the past year to a record even as job cuts by banks reduce employment in the financial services

industry to a twenty year low technology and media companies are drawing workers to the city while lenders restrict mortgages to all but the most credit worthy customers that's encouraged individual investors and companies including k k r and company to enter the rental market as central banks push down yields on debt to record lows right so this is a classic case of rent seeking you've got the central bank and the investment banks there are colluding they get interest rates down near zero so the jack the price up rents are going higher k.k. are predatory bankers in the mix. the result of the completely ill conceived monetary policies causing massive rent seeking and financial dislocation well it's also something that you've called before the jim crow laws so any no ordinary person the bottom ninety nine point nine percent of

the population they are excluded from zero percent interest rates it looks great on paper wow zero percent interest rates around the world record low gilt eels low yields on treasury bonds it's super we can go to the feds discount window and borrow a zero percent well actually you can't unless you're a bank right is own and. jim crow laws so it's fine using interest rates to discriminate yes if you are you know in the big house so you can borrow money at close to zero percent if you're on the field work and then your rate of interest is going to be twenty five thirty percent your rates are going to be jacked up you're shopping at the company's store whether it's tesco or wal-mart now demand for rental properties is growing because first time buyers in the city typically need down payments of about twenty five percent the average deposit is fifty seven thousand one hundred seventy five pounds now consider that that's almost twice what the average salary annual.
